The reported issue was confirmed.The root cause of the reported issue was that the user let bed down on unit.The device was evaluated upon receipt.Upper head assembly bent back.Replaced rear housing interface.Final functional testing completed.The device did not meet specifications, and was influenced by the reported failure.It is unknown if the device was in use on a patient.Dhr is not required as the reported event is a use-of-device failure and therefore the reported event is not manufacturing related.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "stop: ensure that the bd sensica¿ urine output system is not under the patient¿s bed prior to lowering bed to prevent damage.Lower the bed when adjusting the patient position to allow extra slack in the drainage tubing, minimizing the chance of tugging the tubing out of the tube holder.For turning the patient, it may be easier to remove the bag and tubing from the system.First, lift tubing to deposit any urine in the drainage tubing into the bag, and allow the urine output volume to be recorded.Then remove the tubing and bag and hang on the patient bed.Ensure that the bag is always kept below the patient¿s bladder.After turning the patient, if needed, move the system using the crossbar handle and re-setup the system by rehanging the bag and inserting the tubing into the tube holder window.Allow the system to re-stabilize." the actual/suspected device was evaluated.
